Can you do a comparison of a x7 and x5???

just let me know where to send the $$ need those probing screens as well!

How do you get the toolpath display next to the program window?

I need one of those in my life. Do you sell them?

cool !

That’s looking really nice. Any hang ups for different versions of the controller? Some of us are still stuck with a non working tool change screen. Just put me on the mailing list. I will have payment ready to go. Appreciate all of your hard work!

It's great that you do all this testing to get the program robust.

Single handedly carrying the continued development of the Syntec / X7 integration on your back Steve. Well done

Very nice! How can I get these files from you?

Love the in depth video showing the workflow. I'm a full time machinist that runs Haas mill and lathe. I've been researching the X7, what made you choose this machine compared to something like a Haas Mini Mill? Did you get financing? If so, what was that like? Thanks!

Always great to see vids from you

Yes need that for mine!

The best tire changer is a friend's! Thanks for the update.

When we can buy the screen ❤️, I need this for simply my workflow.

What will be the process of acquiring these screens?

Any limitations with the 12 pocket ATC? How often does this become an issue?

Hi !!, How change mm and in? In x7?

how did you get fusion to do a combined drilling cycle (peck, peck peck, full retract, repeat)?

2 years later and the update was never released...

Very good machine!

I see your star spangled banner in the background. Isn't there an american cnc product that is to be compared with this?

Weak machine!

This is one of the very few really quantitative (not just qualitative) videos that describe the performance of a CNC machine on the Internet. Indeed I remember that my Tormach loss the ability to make good circular pockets when one of its axis got backslash.... Thanks for the video!

Hey there any update on making these available for purchase or donation? Just ordered a probe for my X7 and this would be so helpful

First off thank you for the video, it was informative. I do have a few comments and honestly I’m not trying to be a smart ass in anyway. I’m not sure if this was machined this way just for the video or what but why wouldn’t you use a shell mill to do the face surfacing instead of that small diameter end mill? Maybe because the tool change time is so slow? Even if you had rapids 100% it’s still lengthy. Obviously for clarity you didn’t run coolant. That would most likely increase accuracy a tiny bit as well. I really hope this was made this way just to show things because OMG what a waste of material thickness wise. How on earth did you ever get such a simple part to machine? Seriously even using a Haas VF-2SS would blow that time away. However I do believe those machines are a great bang for the buck. You certainly wouldn’t want to be making that part on something like a Heller 😂 I’d love to see what the results would be after several years of use. Especially if you were cutting steel opposed to aluminum. There you go…..an idea for a future video 😜. In my experience most inexpensive machines cut good when new but then…….well not so much. I think this was filmed and edited nicely.Too many ppl are clueless on how to film a good video. Nice job young man. 🤙🏻

I think that's the AN/M2 Aircraft version not the HB.

i've been using my own warm programs, i welcome any screen that automates a process and provides a more intuitive status display and access to parameters. email. will send an email, thanks.

Beautiful shop!

Interested

My husband said one like wasn't enough so here's another! Thanks for what you do for guys like him.

Always cool stuff! I think I learn something new in every video. Thank you! Also yes I need this screen and any others you may wish to sell. I can do the big dummy testing portion. If I break the thing I have an excuse not to use it.

Great video and I love this warm up screen. Just sent you an email about purchase. Thank you

Great work, I really like how you have everything nicely organized. I would definitely be interested, but I use the Syil X5 (22MA). Would these screens work on the X5?

Definitely worth $25, Id love to have it

I'd love to use that screen. I'll look for an email to shoot you a message. Nice work! Where do I find your email?

This seems well worth $25. What about your "other" great screens? Do you plan to release any of those (probe, etc)?

I definitely want the screen, it will save a lot of our time and boost operator mood working with more intuitive screen, definitely worth to get. I will send you email

Great idea Steve I would love to buy the screen. Will send you an email.

Hello. I don't use my X7 as much as you do, so probably would not warrant the software although it would be nice to have. Having said that, I think that the macros you have written should be snapped up by Syil China and incorportaed into every new machine. The Syil community is indebted to you for making these instructional videos....well done!! What I do not understand is why Syil has never made an official instructional video but rely heavily on people like you. On a different note, some things you have never spoken about is how you check the intensifier oil level inside the spindle enclosure (are you aware of this?) and are you concerned about the temperature inside the electrical cabinet? All the 'smarts' are in the top of the cabinet where it is the hottest.

Very cool, that looks really handy! I'll send you an email through your channel's "about" page.

That’s very creative. I don’t have a Syil (yet), perhaps in the near future I might hit you up for it. Say, how is the Syntech controller programmed to build screens like yours? I’d love to see a video on that if you were so inclined. Ciao, Marco.

Soft jaws? The way I do complicated parts is I make aluminium jaws, put a thin parallel between the jaws, just to have some clearance, machine part shape or in this case considering the size - multiple parts, use same G54 you used for the jaws, for the part, you don't even need to use multiple coordinate systems

Again another great informative video. Have you another link to those documents as they seem to have been removed from the Syntec website. Cheers John

put a reamer hole in your jaw, if you just facing just probe your z ans for the x,y just centering with your eyes

Keep the Kiddos from taking some tree loopers to the ground level, romex...Excellent content.

does the screen show gcode when it's probing? it's probably calling a g65 to a sub program stored in the machine that you can alter the default z height values higher than standard. can't tell if you're asking for a solution to avoid the break off nub during xy centering or something else. the optional retract value might work looking at the conversational inputs. could probably also set the g54 p1 value to the +.25 for the probe cycle.

Did you ever bring this issue up with Syil?

Great video. I fitted the fourth axis to my X7 a few months ago. Where did you get that tailstock from - looks great? The thing I dislike most about the tool setter is that the H position for a new tool is not the default tool number. Sometimes the numbers align and sometimes it does not change. Something I have to be super careful about. Are you happy with the electrical cabinet cooling?

Syil publishes the forms and macro language?

What’s the weight of this mill? Just started my shop yesterday now I want this machine haha!
